Manganese(II) complexes with redox-active Schiff base ligands linked through ethylene or propylene chains have been synthesized and characterized using spectroscopic and magnetic techniques. A noticeable shift of 10–15 nm in the absorption band, originally observed around 360 nm in the free ligand, confirms successful coordination with the Mn(II) center. The manganese(II) ion in these complexes is presumed to adopt a high-spin d⁵ electronic configuration, where the d–d transitions are both spin- and Laporte-forbidden. This assumption is further supported by the EPR spectra, which exhibit no substantial variation in line width, suggesting minimal temperature dependence. The overall geometry of the complexes is consistent with a near-octahedral arrangement.
